We heard about Qing through Tripadvisor and although we had booked a trip which included a tour guide thought Virgin-Vacations we decided to contact Qing and hired her sevices for the first 2 days in Beijing.
There was no comparison between Qing and the tour guides from our tour. Qing speaks PERFECT English, much-much-much better than the other 4 tour guides we had in China. From the moment you contact her the first time through e-mails she will start to provide you with very valuable information. She is extremely honest and will not try to take you anywhere where you will have to buy anything. If you want to go shopping she will advise you ahead of time on a fair price to offer for your purchases. As discretely as they may do it, some of the other guides we used did not seem as caring and interested on what was best for us when it came to spending money.
We had wanted to go to the 798 Art District and UCCA and she figured the logistics to save us money on the driver and combined it with our trip to the Great Wall. She took us to the best dumpling restaurant on the way back from the Great Wall. There are not enough words to praise this wonderful young woman and her desire to make your trip a pleasant experience. Thank you Qing for making our trip to China so special. My husband and I travel a lot, the first time we used Tripadvisor was China and because of our good experience with Qing we now use this site everytime we plan a trip
